Mary MacKillop - Jamestown Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Moorundi: An action had been taken on this cache because of one of the following -

No response from the cache owner to the previous reviewer note ask for this cache to receive maintenance.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As there has been no response I'm archiving this cache to stop it from showing up in my reviewer searches and new placement checks.

Please remember to return to the GZ and collect the cache or Check it has been removed if you have not already done so.

We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash and if you have any TB's or coins in your cache I'm sure the owners would want them moved on.

[b]This cache has now been taken off my watchlist and I will not see any notes you leave on the cache page from today[/b]

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center article here.

Geocache Description:

A cache in memory of a great Australian!

The cache is located  near St James School, Jamestown

 

 

Mary MacKillop was born in Melbourne in 1842. When she was in Penola she met Julian Tenison Woods and together they opened the first St Joseph's School in 1866.

Mary MacKillop founded the Sisters of St Joseph to continue this work. Over the many following years, the number of Sisters grew as did their schools. Schools were opened as the needs arose: in country towns, mining towns, cities. The Sisters also became involved in other areas of need including setting up a refuge for women in need and orphanages for children, visiting prisons and working with the sick.

St James School, Jamestown

 St James School celebrates a long tradition of Catholic Education in the spirit of Mary MacKillop and the Sisters of St Joseph, founders of the school in 1880 .

Mary MacKillop ….

Mary MacKilop's famous saying was "Never see a need without doing something about it"

Well..... there was a need, a geochache in her honour, and something has been done about it!

This is one of many caches placed in significant locations of her story.

 

Mary died on August 8th, 1909.

 

She was declared Australia’s first Saint in 2010.

 

 

THANK YOU to chrispy89 for the hide.
